DESCRIPTION

A reluctant
vampire hunter, stalking New York City as only a scorned bride can.

Elle Dupree has her life all figured out: first a wedding,
then her Ph.D., then swank faculty parties where she’ll serve wine and cheese
and introduce people to her husband the lawyer.

But those plans disintegrate when she walks in on a vampire
draining the blood from her fiancé Greg. Horrified, she screams and runs--not
away from the vampire, but toward it, brandishing a wooden letter opener.

As she slams the improvised stake into the vampire’s heart,
a team of black-clad men bursts into the apartment. Turning around to face
them, Elle discovers that Greg’s body is gone—and her perfect life falls apart.

Margo Bond Collins is the author of a number of novels,
including Waking Up Dead, Fairy, Texas, and Legally Undead. She lives in Texas with her husband, their
daughter, and several spoiled pets. She teaches college-level English courses
online, though writing fiction is her first love. She enjoys reading urban
fantasy and paranormal fiction of any genre and spends most of her free time
daydreaming about vampires, ghosts, zombies, werewolves, and other monsters.

We walked all the way to the end of
the hall and Deirdre pulled a key out from between her breasts. She caught my
look and said, “I don’t want it to be too easy to get to, pet.” Then she turned
the key in the lock and opened the door on one of the most horrible scenes I
could ever have imagined.

Malcolm’s completely naked body hung
from chains against the back wall. His knees sagged so that his arms, stretched
to their utmost, took most of his weight. His head drooped to one side. His
eyes were closed; he didn’t try to see who had entered the room. I wasn’t sure
he was even conscious.

The bed in the middle of the room was
a tangle of sheets and blankets, all smeared with old bloodstains. The carpet
under Malcolm’s body was also darkened with blood.

Worst of all were the wounds. His
entire body was covered in bite marks. Big purple bruises spread out from the
worst of them, painful looking quarter-inch puncture wounds, white and ragged
around the edges. Several wounds ringed his nipples, another one punctured
either side of his bellybutton. There was one particularly livid mark on his
neck and what looked like the edges of another one on his inner thigh, though I
couldn’t see it well enough to tell how bad it actually was. His wrists had
been rubbed raw by the shackles holding him, and underneath the chains he was
pale.

Agency
Rules

Celebrated as a ragtag force that defeated and
broke the Soviet Union, no one predicted the Mujahideen would bring with them a
plague that would spread like wildfire through Pakistan in the years to follow.
When the battle-worn fighters returned with no enemy or war to fight, they
turned their sights on the country that had been their creator and benefactor.

From the same battlegrounds that birthed the
Mujahideen, a young Kamal Khan emerges as a different breed of warrior.
Discarding his wealthy family comforts, Kamal becomes a precision sniper, an
invincible commando and a clandestine operative bringing intimidation,
dominance and death with him to the battlefield. Ending the plague is his prime
directive.

Shrouded in political expediency, hampered by
internal power struggles, international espionage and doublespeak that makes
Washington’s spin doctors proud, Kamal’s mission is a nightmare of rampant
militant fundamentalism that threatens to choke and take Pakistan hostage. For
him, the fight is not just for freedom, but the survival of a nation.

By day, Khalid Muhammad is a mild-mannered
business executive keeping himself busy running a marketing and brand
management company. He takes someone else’s product and creates concepts, ideas
and brand stories—things that make consumers want to buy, invest and save their
hard-earned money.

By night, his alter ego emerges; one that has
a penchant for sadistic retribution towards those who have wronged him, and
that spends its time devising intricate and detailed plans for a nefarious end.

If he hopes to continue to have friends and
family, though, he has to keep his alter ego under control.

So, Khalid chooses to write novellas, novels
and short stories to let the wickedness escape; the other option means a great
deal of blood, numerous torture implements and…well, infinite ways to dump a
body. The writing is better for everyone involved and less dangerous for the
guilty… until he writes them into another story.
